Lowstand carbonates, highstand sandstones?
2003
The sedimentary facies, sediment dynamics and sequence architecture of modern high-energy shelves in the mid and high latitudes are largely governed by wave abrasion processes. Cool-water carbonates may form there, if the influx and/or net accretion of siliciclastics is kept at a minimum. Little dilution of the carbonate produced in situ is generally promoted by a wide "epicontinental" shelf, subdued topography of the adjacent mainland, the predominance of limestone outcrops, and an arid climate. The aforementioned requirements are rarely met, and thus will automatically lead to the formation of mixed siliciclastic-cool-water carbonates. Such an example is found in the Early to Mid-Miocene …
An exceptional rocky shore preserved during Oligocene (Late Rupelian) transgression in the Upper Rhine Graben (Mainz Basin, Germany)
2012
The Early Oligocene (Late Rupelian) Alzey Formation (Mainz Basin, Upper Rhine Graben, Germany) records the development of a rocky coast depositional system during transgression. The formation unconformably overlies Permian bedrock across a composite transgressive ravinement surface. Exposure of the surface shows a succession of subplanar bedrock terraces, separated by near-vertical risers. Terraces show a broad staircase geometry and display wave-erosional features (notches, sea stacks, furrows). Detailed sedimentological and palaeoecological investigations reveal prograding beachface and shoreface depositional units that overlie terraces and are adjacent to risers. Terraces are interpreted…

Transgression as represented in Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club
2017
Tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, kuinka Fight Club romaanissa käsitellään transgressiivistä kaunokirjallisuutta. Tutkimuksessa hyödynnetään metodina lähilukutekniikkaa, jossa aineisto analysoidaan keskittyen transgressiivisiin teemoihin sekä narratiivisiin rakenteisiin. Tutkimuskysymyksenä on se, miten transgressiivisuus nousee esille Chuck Palahniukin Fight Club - romaanin kirjoitustyylissä. Analyysini jakautuu kolmeen osaan. Ensimmäisenä tarkastelen transgressiivisuutta Fight Clubin narratiivisissa rakenteissa. Tutkimuksessa käy ilmi, että transgressiivisuuden vaikutusta narratiivissa voidaan tarkastella tajunnanvirran, epäluotettavan kertojan ja epälineaarisuuden kautta, joihin vai…
Od buntu do wyzwolenia. Image kobiety nieobyczajnej według Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, Simone de Beauvoir, Françoise Sagan i Marguerite Duras
2018
Tożsamość (także płciowa) kobiety w przestrzeni domu, w historii, kulturze i na drogach emancypacji odzwierciedla niejako jej walkę o wolność. W kontekście faktów kulturowych, obyczajowych i etycznych inspirowanych przez teorię gender niniejszy artykuł ma na celu refleksję nad kwestią obrazu kobiety transgresywnej w literaturze francuskiej XX w. Zagadnienie to rozpatrywane jest w odniesieniu do sfery jej życia osobistego oraz przyjmowanych przez nią określonych ról społecznych i publicznych, przy uwzględnieniu perspektywy historycznej i antropologicznej, związanej ze specyfiką oraz mentalnością Francji XX stulecia.

Femme et dame de courtoisie dans les manuscrits enluminés en France aux xive et xve siècles
2020
Femme et dame de courtoisie ne sont guère semblables, malgré la confusion visuelle que leur mise en image engendre parfois. Il est donc essentiel de comprendre quelles modulations et répétitions visuelles utilisent les artistes de la fin du Moyen Âge pour représenter ces deux figures féminines. L’image de la dame est-elle également représentative de la place de la femme dans la société du Moyen Âge tardif ? En effet, la première est un personnage historique, rattaché à une réalité aristocrati...
Purity rules in Pentecostal Uganda. Towards an analysis of relational rulework
2022
Rules concerning romantic relationships and sex—what we term ‘purity rules’—are central to Pentecostalism in Uganda. In public church arenas, the born-again variant of the rules laid down during Uganda’s ‘ABC’ response to HIV/AIDS — ‘abstain till marriage and be faithful once you marry’—are presented as clear and non-negotiable. Yet in church members’ lives, and in their conversations with each other or in small church groups, space is often created for interpretation and deliberation about the officially strict rules. In this article, we use ethnographic material from fieldwork in urban Pentecostal churches in Uganda to describe how rules work on people, and people work on rules. We descr…
Beach ridges from the Varanger Peninsula (Arctic Norwegian coast): Characteristics and significance
2009
The most common coastal sedimentary forms on the arctic coast of the Varanger Peninsula are raised beach ridge plains. The majority of the ridges consist of coarse material, but there are also sandy beach ridge areas close to the river mouths of some of the major rivers. Some bays having the same isostatic rebound and dynamic conditions have been studied to test if the number of beach ridges in each locality is significant to prove climatic changes, storminess, and rates of sediment accumulation, or if the number of beach ridges in each bay is only dependent on their intrinsic characteristics and self organization. Because the number of ridges varies not only from bay to bay, but even withi…
Natural and human induced environmental changes preserved in a Holocene sediment sequence from the Etoliko Lagoon, Greece: New evidence from geochemi…
2013
Abstract A key feature of Greece is the large amount of historical and archaeological records. The sedimentary record of the Etoliko Lagoon, Aetolia, Western Greece, offers an ideal opportunity to study human–environment interaction and to disentangle natural and anthropogenic imprints in the sedimentary record. By applying an interdisciplinary approach of combining geoscientific methods (XRF, LOI, grain size analysis) with archaeological and historical records, the 8.8 m long sedimentary sequence ETO1C reveals the palaeoenvironmental history of the lagoon and its catchment since 11,670 cal BP. With a thorough chronology based on 14 C age-depth-modelling including varve counting, different …
